UNWIND by Neal Shusterman - In the not-too-distant future, a person's life is precious from conception until the age of 13, when parents who aren't happy with the way their child has evolved, can have them "unwound", where body parts are harvested and given to the highest bidder. You see this satisfies both the pro-lifers and the pro-choicers because technically no one ever dies. Their body parts continue to live on in other peoples' bodies. 16-year-old Connor decides to take matters into his own hands and run away from the "harvesting camp" before he can become one of the "unwinds". Along the way he discovers an underground world of unwinds where there is a whole new set of rules he must abide by or risk the same fate.If you like that one here is another look at the topic...

Why can't she remember that night? These are all questions Jenna Fox asks herself after she wakes up from an 18-month-long "nap".
